The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2018, Enigma Aoud by Roja Dove is a fragrance that marries the sensuality of floral notes with the exoticism of oud. The composition opens with bergamot and peach before leading into a heart of may rose, jasmine, neroli, ylang-ylang, geranium, and heliotrope. These florals create a delicate tension against the rich base of agarwood (oud), vanilla, sandalwood, orris, musk, ambergris, and patchouli. The result is a distinctive olfactory experience that feels both familiar and unexpected.
Apply lightly to pulse points — the powdery and floral notes are best experienced close to skin. The base notes bloom over time, so it's ideal for evening wear when its complexity can fully emerge.
